Board Takes Action

The Board of the PNW Kiwanis Foundation met on January 14, 2012, in Milwaukie OR.  A minute of silence was observed for past President John Frucci, who passed away earlier this year.  Highlights include:

·         Approval for funding regarding a number of requests for designated grants;

·         An update on the $13,000 in scholarships that the PNW Kiwanis Foundation will be presenting to Key Club and CKI students this year, including the availability of application forms (see “Scholarship” link at left);

·         Approval to allow donors the option of designating 50% of their Distinguished Service Award contribution to KCCP; and

·         Selection of two new Board members (pending ratification of the District Board).

A total of 17 of the 22 Directors from BC, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho attended the meeting.  In accordance with Board policy, no members received reimbursement for travel costs for attending the day-long meeting. 

Next Meeting:  The next meeting will be held in August 2012 in conjunction with the Pacific Northwest Kiwanis District Convention in Bend OR.

The Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program:
Your Foundation is Working to Help Children with Cancer

Over the years, Kiwanis clubs in the Pacific Northwest have raised millions of dollars to support innovative pediatric cancer research and cancer care.  The PNW Kiwanis Foundation is proud to be a partner in the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program and is ready to accept your contribution to help fund research fellows at children’s cancer hospitals serving Pacific Northwest children.

If you have a preference as to which hospital your contribution goes to (Portland, Seattle, or Vancouver), please let us know.  You can also support the Portland hospital through the Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program (KDCCP) or the Vancouver hospital through the Kiwanis Foundation of Canada.  Remember that each of these hospitals serves children from a wide catchment area, so children from your Pacific Northwest community are likely having their cancer treated at one of these three facilities.
